Rob your in shock, i was there the first half performance
(if you can call it that was bloody awful).
Better second half after changes, but 2 much to do
to get back level.
Good job there is a break for internationals.
:shock: :shock:

So now we're hoping for better things this sunday.
West Brom have not won a league match at the Cottage for 42 years but i feel a point is what we're going to get.
We have 3 away matches coming up with a home match against Arsenal tucked in there.My mate Dave says he'll be happy with 5 points out of that lot and who am i to disagree.He's a season ticket holder!!
The Villa have a tough home match against Chelsea who'll be looking to impress Guus.I fancy Chelsea to win this!!
A local derby Coventry - Blues could see Birmingham returning back to Small Heath pointless and Wolves will have to be in top form to beat Cardiff!Sorry Wolfman!!
There is a big gap between the top 3 and the rest in the Championship but i dont think its over yet by any means!! Watch Burnley!!
Walsall are travelling to Northampton and they've been consistent of late,3 games without defeat, and i fancy them to return to Bescot with at least 1 point.

Right,i'm off aer kid!!

I'm not too sure about that, I think our new signings are starting to gel now and I predict a win for Blues :P

Well i was right about that but sadly West Brom returned from London pointless!!
Seems to be trouble brewing at Molineux.Wolves fans need to be patient.Top of the league in February!!What team in the Championship wouldn't swop places with them?
The brutal reality of the Championship is few teams get through the year playing well all the time - and what's happening at Molineux is being conducted in similar tones at St Andrew's!!
Still expect both teams to join West Brom in the Premiership next season. :lol:

Who we talking about Peterd? Spennymoor United Boys away to Jarrow Working Mens' Club? :roll: :lol:

Anyway....
Wolves moved another step closer to their dream especially useful after Reading's home defeat to Ipswich.
I can't see Wolves not going up now and Birmingham did well to win away at Docaster and they look odds on for the number 2 spot.I called my mate Winston last night but he hadn't got back from Doncaster yet and his wife wasn't too pleased about that so i quickly bade my goodbyes!!Women and football eh? :roll:
Aston Villa are still in the running for a place in the top 4 but this will,i think, go to the wire!!
Personally i think Arsenal,with their injured players returning on time,will clinch it.In fact i see Arsenal finishing 3rd with Chelsea in 4th place.Anyway Villa to beat Tottenham today!!

I've left the best till last !! One point in the last 6 matches is abysmal and if they,and i'm talking about the true Black Country team West Brom,don't win today then we can kiss the Premiership bye bye.
I've tried to keep a brave face but those are the cold hard facts 6 points adrift of the club immediately above us and we're in dire straits!!
I thought that we had an easy run in as well but 5 of the last 7 matches are against fellow relegation strugglers!!
There's still hope though 18 points from the last remaining matches might just do it!! ( okay Dave i've done my bit!!)
